While the midweek storm will not become as powerful as the recent bomb cyclone, part of the northeastern United States can expect renewed power outages, heavy snow and widespread travel disruptions.

The storm set to unleash a blizzard over the northern Plains will fizzle over the eastern Great Lakes and central Appalachians Tuesday into Tuesday night.

However, the storm is projected to reorganize and strengthen along the coast as many storms often do from Wednesday into Thursday.

"For most people in the Northeast, especially in New England and the coastal mid-Atlantic, this will be a more typical winter storm or nor'easter," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

"The big problem is that the storm this week is coming so soon after the destructive storm from last Friday," Sosnowski said. "It will disrupt cleanup and restoration operations and is likely to cause a new but less extreme round of travel delays, power outages and damage from falling trees."

People in much of the mid-Atlantic and in southern New England will notice much less wind with the storm on Wednesday and Thursday, compared to last Friday and Saturday.

"The storm will still pack a punch from New Jersey to Maine," Sosnowski said. "Small craft should remain in port and seas are likely to again become rough enough to toss around large vessels offshore."

Residents who had their power restored early this week may find themselves back in the dark at midweek.

High-profile vehicles may have difficulty navigating the high bridges in New York City and Boston.

Despite winds set to buffet the beaches, coastal flooding is not likely to be as severe as during the bomb cyclone.

The quick pace of the storm should limit any issues to minor problems for one or two high tides, especially in areas that suffered beach erosion the past few days.

Heavy snow likely to fall over a broad area

Many areas in northern New England that escaped the last storm’s full wrath may face heavy snowfall from this storm.

Snowfall in northern and western New England would be dry and powdery in nature and subject to blowing and drifting.

Some portions of western and northern New England may receive between 1 and 2 feet of snow.

"The band of heavy snow is likely to overlap at least part of the area that received more than a foot of snow from last Friday's storm," Sosnowski said. "Parts of the Poconos and Catskills may have 3-4 feet of snow on the ground following this new storm's snow and what remains on the ground from last week."

Accumulating snow is forecast to reach Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and even Boston. A heavy amount of snow, enough to shovel and plow, is projected in the swath from northern Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania to metro New York City, central Connecticut and central Massachusetts.

"Airline passengers should expect a new round of flight delays and cancellations in the Northeast with some ripple-effect delays elsewhere in the nation," Sosnowski said.

Crews and aircraft may get tied up or rerouted due to deicing operations, slippery runways, poor visibility and gusty winds.

Track of storm to determine exact snowfall in Interstate 95 corridor

A shift in the storm track by as little as 25 miles can mean the difference between a foot of snow and a small, easy to manage accumulation.

A sharp gradient between close to a foot of snow and a small amount of slush is likely from northeastern Maryland to southeastern New Jersey, central Long Island and southeastern New England.

A similar sharp gradient is likely on the western edge of the heavy snow, where a distance of 25 miles may have snowfall ranging from close to a foot to a couple of inches.

Yet another storm on the horizon

"Mother Nature may have one more potent coastal storm for the Northeast into the middle of the month before the pattern shifts somewhat," Sosnowski said. "After the storm this Wednesday and Thursday, a new storm may gather intensity along the Atlantic coast from Sunday, March 11, to Monday, March 12."

Later in March, additional storms that brew may also be potent, but the storm track may progress farther to the west over the middle of the nation.
